Abigail Spencer Joins 'Grey's Anatomy,' Replaces Bridget Regan

Abigail Spencer has joined the cast of Grey’s Anatomy for the upcoming 14th season!

The 36-year-old actress will be playing the role of Owen’s sister Megan Hunt, who was previously played in flashbacks last season by Bridget Regan, according to THR.

Bridget is unable to return to the series due to her commitments with TNT’s The Last Ship, so Abigail is taking on the role for a multi-episode arc before she has to start work on NBC’s second season of Timeless.

Megan Hunt was presumed dead after her helicopter went missing, but it was revealed in the season 13 finale that she is actually alive.
